Of the ASEAN-6 countries, the Philippines’ infrastructure ranks behind that of Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand and is about on par with that of Indonesia and Vietnam.
With a high concentration of cell phone users, the cellular industry is booming in the Philippines.
In some respects, the industry is more advanced and integrated here than even in the United States, with over five million people using their cell phones as digital wallets and using cellular networks for all of their financial transactions.
On the other hand, the country underinvests in its physical infrastructure year after year, consistently spending under 3% of annual GDP on it.
The geographic nature of the country (mountainous islands) makes uniform improvements difficult and, as a result, the state of roadways varies from island to island (and even within the same island).
Buses, “jeepneys,” taxis, and electric scooters or tricycles are the most common forms of public transportation in a given city in the Philippines.
Because of the island nature of the country, air and sea transport are important aspects of national infrastructure and generally are better-developed than land transport in the country.
